You ARE correct. I just did a default installation of 2003 Exchange and in OWA, at least, you DO have access to all mail boxes by default. I was pleasantly surprised to find this because running Exchange at a school you do need to have access to student mail boxes to monitor their usage ( sending games, exes and music files to each other :-) ) and clean out their junk when they fail to do so.
